Blue Herringbone Scarf

Hey look I knitted another scarf! And guess what it's Herringbone too! To be quite honest with you I learnt the knit stitch, the purl stitch and did a test swatch to learn to knit. Then I barrelled on learning the herringbone stitch straight away and made my first Herringbone Scarf. I followed that by making this scarf so consequently I'm not sure that I could actually remember anything but the Herringbone stitch.

This is me all rugged up in my backyard. And yes I know it's only really autumn but I've already pulled out this coat and worn the scarf a couple of times. Not sure what happens when winter actually arrives!

The scarf knitted up much faster this time because I used size 10 needles and a thicker yarn. I'm much more in love with this sized stitch than the previous scarf. I still love it but this scarf is more me.

Here you can see why it takes me so long to knit these things because I make them super long. Taller than me in fact. But I love being able to wrap them around my neck and still have it hanging all the way down to my waist so I'm really toasty.

In other news I've finally cleaned up my sewing room so I'm all excited to sew again. Stay tuned for something actually sewn by me.
